Buzzing

Danehy Park, Cambridge, Massachusetts

 Just a pass along the grove of Sumac makes me stop
  to look at the bees buzzing around clusters of yellow flowers...
    they do no seem to note or care...
  
 Pollen baskets on their legs feel heavy, but not to them.
   The cargo is deftly packed,
  grains of pollen mixed with nectar hold well
    and this extra weight does not hinder their flight.
 
 More or less the same as my backpack...  

Danehy Park: ... along the grove of Sumac...

Danehy Park: ... makes me stop...

Danehy Park: ... to look at the bees...

Danehy Park: ... buzzing around yellow clusters...

Danehy Park: ... pollen baskets on their legs feel heavy...

Danehy Park: ... they do not seem to note or care...

Danehy Park: ... simply flowers...

Danehy Park: ... the cargo is deftly packed...

Danehy Park: ... she knows I am here...
